I'm stoked to see if the data pans out.

Actually, it wasn't the einstein gravity waves they were looking for in particular, but the waves that remained from the big bang. Gravity waves can be caused by a Super Nova collapsing into a black hole and other events. These were a specific type of gravity wave. I saw a clip somewhere where a TV crew was able to interview the guy who proposed these specific waves (forget his name), upon their arrival to talk to him, he had not yet heard of the discovery and was surprised at the news.
